many of the attacks are synchronized to happen precisely as the target does something, e.g. leaves his/her residence.

24 hour surveillance, every day. Among other things, the stalkers, working in shifts, sit in their vehicles parked around the target's residence.

disinformation: stalkers will present themselves as gang-stalking victims and make bizarre claims to discredit other victims and mislead the publlic.

"street theater": staged skits designed to frighten and upset the target. In aggressive versions, the target is physically assaulted while the other stalkers act as "witnesses."

"slander campaign": the foundation of gs. The stalkers go to everyone the target interacts with (family members, coworkers, neighbors, etc) and spread lies: that the target is a homosexual or a criminal of some type. This is an effective tactic because most people can't even imagine that a stranger would lie to them.

the stalkers present themselves as members of a "civic organization" which works with law enforcement and monitors terrorists or other criminals. The stalkers may use fake badges or fake "official files" to convince people that the target is a criminal.

the stalkers target people they see as not conforming with their version of "normality," homosexuals, members of "left-wing" (e.g. peace, civil rights, environmental) organizations, whistleblowers, people who live "alternative lifestyles" or have angered a member of the group, and "targets of opportunity."
